a business bulletin in twenty minutes. it's just after seven pm here in moscow this is artsy welcome to the program russia and nato have failed to reach a consensus on a missile defense plans in europe with the alliance standing firm on its position. against a joint missile shield and doesn't find it necessary to provide russia with legal guarantees that the shield won't be directed against it. has more from russia city of sochi where the talks have now gone to a. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov described talks on the missile defense shield in europe as long and not going as smooth as it was expected when i was speaking at a separate press conference secretary general of nato rasmussen has said that nature never promised those stocks will simply happen overnight he also explained

the reasons why sectoral and so missile defense shield with the participation of russia is impossible is because nato cannot delegate the security of nato countries to a third party well here's part of that survival so that each would want to have a judicial proof that anti-missile defense shield is not aimed against russia that figure three general rasmussen has so he sees no need of such a proof and once again try to ensure that i am not going to be a threat to russia big part over russia will be covered by that and fired missile defense shield russian president dmitry medvedev believes that that could be a potential reason for another arms race on the sidelines of the russian nato council and there was a meeting between the russian president need to meet the views of. the president of south africa now jacob zuma came to preserve new ideas and high. to resolve the

conflict in libya the ideas were deprived from the recent summit of the african union and he was here speaking on behalf of the union now the ideas were her doubts but it seems that russia and nato are still not on the same page when it comes to resolving the conflict let's listen to what russian foreign minister lavrov had to say. we believe that the arms embargo that was introduced by the un security council is straightforward and it is captured this way in the resolution it applies to libya's entire territory therefore any arms supplies are violating this resolution as well as any attempts to send military instructors into libya to deliver military knowledge and know how all these cases are covered by the arms embargo and this is our position and speaking of had over this meeting of russia's and boy to nato we did our voice and said that he fears that unknown ground operation is just around the corner and if that happens. the situation in the

region will severely be worsened meanwhile today secretary general rasmussen once again try to reassure everyone that's a ground operation is not in the plans. because of reporting right well with civilian casualties mounting khadafi still in power and no end to the conflict inside nato has had yet another problem a crippling shortage of munitions the alliance has appealed to germany which had previously resisted getting involved in the conflict to chip in and if not he's really going to go discovered there are those who believe berlin's all too happy to get on board now there's a profit to be made. more bombs wanted just over one hundred days of airstrikes and with just over two thousand bombs dropped by nato allies on libya the mission has run into an unexpected problem a lack of shells to drop where there is demand there is supply and this case germany has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition previously berlin has

abstained from voting in favor of the un security council resolution on libya a move that surprised some and angered others but it may now be backing out of a decision the germans may not want to participate but are they have decided that the position does not preclude them actually sublime weapons in this case or systems some believe germany is under pressure from other nato members particularly the united states friends in the u.k. to take a more active part in the libyan campaign at first hand our you know ministries toward the foreign affairs minister don't go into libya it's a very bad conflict it was started by the cia and it's a dirty business don't go there so this is why you voted with russia and china now the backlash from washington is so tough obviously we are under pressure to do something to make up for this decision aside from peer pressure germany may be

lured by the possible financial benefits of making its weapons available for natives use in libya probably germany will get paid for delivering these arms to other countries but that is normal practice between countries even between nato countries. out of the twenty eight nato members only eight are actively participating in libya with civilian deaths to which nato recently admitted to a shortage of weapons and the ever relentless more market duffy is still at the helm the coalition may be facing just the beginning of its problems. berlin is in a tough spot on the one hand it has. disappointed nato by refusing to support the mission in libya in march on the other by agreeing to supply bombs it may now lose friends in all other high places and whatever the real reasons for its contradictory policy may be germany could find that by trying to please everyone it may end up pleasing no one in the ghost court. and now to discuss the significance

of the johnnies latest move when our joined by political blogger ross off. thank you for joining us today so germany's now joined the call for that is now a funneling weapons into libya certainly ever vasile from its original stance are we seeing a more united nato front and will it help and bring an end to the conflict. the united nato front will not bring an end of a conflict as we know nato defense ministers recently confirmed or are there to confirm an extension of the word against libya for another ninety days to the under of september the war is actually you know it's one hundred a day very. large the mind. of germany for whatever reason why it's only certainly from its own. joining the the nation sort of us or china india and brazil in the security council on march seventeenth and abstaining and you wonder as aleutian nineteen seventy three however. nato being what it is germany compensated in

some measure by the sending of additional they where aircraft they where it's aircraft afghanistan are and their military resources from those nato partners states that work for disability but we already when you talk about may not have partnership a forgive me for interrupting half a dozen germany have a responsibility to support his military allies otherwise what's the point of being in nato in the first place. i mean that's a good question what it suggests is nato obligations override national security concerns national interests international law even the you know one wants to go into what. precise stipulations of the u.n. resolution one thousand seven hundred three which have been exceeded. you know in a dramatic fashion by you know the war of which again you know it's well into its fourth month when you can you keep calling it a war but you mentioned the un resolution one by seventy three it's a humanitarian mission as if it was a great anwar humanitarian mission because of the united nations mandate or words

of war well i'm not a military analyst nor myself outside you don't call me i don't know how as to characterize thirteen thousand nato air missions over a country of six and a half million people including what nato itself acknowledges as five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know this is not simply a question of protecting libyan civilians from over the government violence and so forth this is a concerted long term military action it's an act of aggression it's a war i don't know if you're quoting it will but if it wasn't for nato who else would mobilize so quickly to fight against the kind of abuses of civilians we've seen in libya one of the options. you know first of all this is a very selector approach it and i could turn your question right around and say but if nato exists why hasn't it intervened in bahrain and yemen than in a number of other places around the world nato and its of its major members in the first place and think about the nato the united states france england ordinarily

germany and italy pursue their own geopolitical interest and then livio it is a war of choice so war of opportunity and you know they first of a back to the question of germany you know germany and vv has not participated in those they are american and nato air bases and other facilities in germany of course are connected with what the ongoing hostilities still of these if you prefer that are in libya and germany has also read renewed its participation an operation active endeavor which is a nearly ten year nato maritime patrol and surveillance operation. throughout the middle it seems that germany is getting more involved in its punishing with with nato here but in a recent article in your blog he wrote that nato is mobilizing for even more conflict now given the west an economic crisis and a war fatigue public web where do you get off saying that. i mean i'm judging them by their track record in the media of the major major nato nations

a wage for whatever you choose to call them. military acts of aggression against foreign sovereign nations and throw here is i'm talking of course of our group of the afghanistan iraq and now libya they're also involved militarily in the horn of africa off the horn of africa on the go the nato is fair look being a burgundy and a new god and troops into somalia for one two sides are fighting it a shooting going to each other i think war is not an acceptable term but you know the armed conflict again if you prefer and somalia and so forth i mean this is a war making our organization it was nothing but that you know the presented as a peacekeeping force because occasionally it is the united nations. authorization to produce a page in certain actions to disguise the true nature of nato it's the world's only military bloc it's one that's and praise from sixteen members to twenty eight members in

a decade it's one that has partnerships around the world it's one that is in charge of the two major wars in the world right now those in afghanistan and libya i think you know we can dispute you know minor points of contention but i think we should not be confused about what the nature of the mirthful are any treaty organization now right ereka rolls off the air and see you have stopped nato many thanks thank you. well nato has deployed now commando units in libya to get rid of colonel gadhafi that's the claim from one of his sons this comes off to another son saif gadhafi spoke exclusively to r.t. saying that he believes the alliance once only to feast on in libya. riches this country is a piece of cake rich guys oil and we have more than one hundred billion dollars deposits abroad so we have to share this cake that it and we have to get used to could have we because it is the only obstacle between.

the think it's as simple as that you can share the full version of this exclusive interview on our website dot com. you with r.t. now the hague war crimes tribunal has entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of former bosnian serb general. the accused was ordered out of the court for interrupting the judge and speaking out of turn the former general later complain of having had trouble hearing what was going on previously the judge refused to postpone the hearing at the request of light it she threatened to boycott the proceedings he has rejected the legal team given to him by the court demanding to choose his own defense lawyers is accused of ordering the mass killing of thousands of bosnian muslims during a war. that reports many serbs feel the international criminal court is only taking one side in the conflict. liquid little town of sibling meets in bosnia and

herzegovina who looks it daily you houses are being built people go about their business and in the center of the town a mosque and a church sit side by side but this apparent unity is an illusion sixteen years ago the entire region was torn apart by ethnic clashes during the yugoslav war instead of a need to became infamous when the united nations stated eight thousand muslim men and boys were massacred by bosnian serb forces today and the morial for the deceased sits in the grounds of a former un military base the city being it's a memorial ground as well maintained and frequently visited by locals journalists and tourists who get boston from the bosnian capital of. what the tourist aren't shown are the thousands of serbian graves that lined cemeteries all around the state of being it's a region. where. thousands of people were killed during the balkan wars of the one nine hundred ninety s. but cemeteries like these with entire families of murdered serb civilians. only get

visited by the very few remaining survivors but only comes here all the time his entire family lives here he says a bosnian muslim general is responsible so you know i was only nine years old when the us had already struck away everything i had in life first he killed my mother then my father and brother i was wounded and taken captive they held me for fifty six days and only god knows how or why i survived. but even though but on a survive his loss just like that of thousands of people here is being ignored but boteach was at the hague tribunal and i was supposed to be a witness in his trial but in the end me and about thirty other witnesses were simply cast aside they didn't call us didn't ask what happened to our families and the tribunal only gave him two years in prison. the balkan war so heinous atrocities visited an all sides and perpetrated by all players but the version most

often propagated by western media is rather one sided in blaming the serves the purpose is to. create a rationale for so called humanitarian interventions which. occurred in considerable number. of strokes in it so that so-called precedent can be traced through the years and into today's headlines bosnia iraq afghanistan and most recently libya have all played unwilling hosts to nato troops and u.s. imposed no fly zones it is very important in the creation of the. scenario to make sure that in the minds of most people. was a drone inside which was preventable but for whatever reasons the so-called

international community didn't do anything about it. simulate say the journey from sebring needs it to benghazi via baghdad and kabul could now be traced as a kind of nato road map but as with any road paved with good intentions there is only one possible destination. castros are about r t bosnia and herzegovina. now it's seventeen minutes past the hour here in moscow and coming up in just a few minutes a drawn out draw down to start barack obama's plan for a massive pullout from afghanistan next year experts claim america is stuck there for years to come and paying for the conflict with blood and money. organizers of a pro palestinian flotilla have vowed to defy a greek sailor about and to push ahead with the she might tarion mission to gaza at all costs about came after a number of ships. were found to be damaged but activists condemning what they said was sabotaged by israeli security forces the greek government had offered to

deliver their supplies through israel but that proposal was rejected tel aviv in return has sworn to prevent the civilian freed from reaching garza a similar mission just over a year ago ended with nine people dead after israeli commandos stormed the flotilla british campaigner david helping who's been involved in transporting relief supplies to gaza told r.t. how his own vessel was once attacked in the same way the full interview is coming your way next hour but for now here's a preview. we were trying to get to garza on the third of the bombardment and invasion so called operation. and we were high speed of about sixty six miles off the coast of haifa in the dark five thirty in the morning. and i'm quite certain that the intention was to drown us i believe in speaking the truth about this more because we are dealing with people being tormented for sixty

three years. and of that interview is next hour here on our now third lawyer magnitsky in two thousand and nine he was being detained by authorities at the time was down to insufficient medical help and that's according to russia's investigative committee which having now finished analyzing the medical evidence claimed the prison staff involved will face trial for more let's cross now live to what is course one of peter all of us to get the latest on. so peter are we are we seeing a breakthrough do you think in the magnitsky case with this announcement. well the investigation really is still growing both what we've heard today from the investigative committee the additional forensic medical examination into the death of surrogate magnitsky is now being completed a spokesperson for the the investigative committee said that's. medical examination revealed that magnitsky had a preexisting condition which had contributed to his death now he also went on to

say criminal a criminal case has been opened and charges of failure to provide adequate medical care and negligence are to be brought against stuff at the detention facility where surrogate magnitsky was awaiting trial where he's being held waiting trial for the charges of tax evasion now this case the death of so get magnitsky in custody while he was awaiting that trial drew huge interest all around the world with many many human rights groups calling for a full investigation to determine exactly what happened that led to his death. thank you. recently announced afghanistan drawdown plan is being slammed by republicans they say withdrawing thirty three thousand troops by the end of next summer is too much of a military risk. to find out that the talk of change may just be

a symbolic gesture as there's no end in sight to the u.s. presence in the country. the aftermath of a taliban attack in kabul. a luxury hotel frequented by foreigners earlier this year taliban gunmen wearing suicide vest storm a guest house used by u.n. staffers. last year another attack on hotels this is where your. examples are strewn through the near decade war familiar aftermath we have anybody paying down here in the south only now americans heard this declaration before news of the blast we're starting this drawdown from a position of strength about u.s. plans to begin pulling troops out of afghanistan but their declarations on the ground from afghan activists of military might that's not to different mark democracy never come by. democracy never come by minute democracy never comes by cluster bomb by white phosphorus by muscle car by bumping our wedding parties and

didn't washington talk of winding down war in one country does not wind down talk of tackling the global terrorist threat as the focus seems to shift to neighbors should be refocusing resources on pakistan yemen somalia parts of northern africa and other locations i've always believed pakistan is more central to what happens in afghanistan a change in the guard at the department of defense with robert gates retiring and former cia chief leon panetta getting sworn in signals this change of course to critics i see no difference between between him and robert gates and for afghanistan we now hear a presidential pledge to pull thirty three thousand troops out by september two thousand and twelve fully we're covering the surge i announced at west point well it certainly sounds like what the american people would like to hear for the first time ever a majority want u.s. troops out about ghana stand as soon as possible fifty six percent while thirty

nine percent want troops there until the situation is stabilized you can see the trend is really flip flopped but what is the reality of obama's plans for troop withdrawal well that thirty three thousand he's calling for is a minority of the one hundred thousand american troops that are there that's not including another forty two thousand nato troops and ninety thousand department of defense contractors meanwhile the u.s. has reiterated a long term commitment to the country there certainly has been an agreement that following two thousand and fourteen there will be some kind of continuing presence . of presence and financial burden some see as permanent observers believe u.s. bases are in the forever future lauren lister r.t. washington d.c. . with the u.s. troop withdrawal also underway in iraq the burning question is how much of a military presence is needed to stay off discusses the issue with his guests and cross talk with after the business with covering.

how and welcome to business here or not he thanks for joining me russia is having to face up to its own banking scandal the former heads of russia's fifth largest lender bank of moscow are facing criminal charges after its huge bailout regulators discovered a third of the bank's assets were in bad loans marina has the details. everything sorted. over bank of moscow and discovered bad loans worth knowing a billion dollars which is about one third of the bank's assets but this isn't the first time the bank is involved in the scandal the other one involved the building that you see it right next to me which is the mayor's office and that was because the former head of all the bank of moscow i'm able to do also accused of shady loans to construction companies are run by the former mayors right now he has since fled the country and the warrant has been issued for his arrest the bank of moscow

now getting fourteen billion dollars which is the biggest bailout in russian history that will be given over a ten year period i don't think just straight up but the say no this amount is three times bigger than the capitalization of the bank and it's smaller than the amount that was given to all of the banks here during the financial crisis process finance minister has since called for a criminal investigation into the bad loans to figure out who was responsible and what happens. and i examine more also from ages fisi says the bailout shows the state is expanding not reducing its dominance in the banking sector in accordance with the president's program. state all my bangs continue expansion into the russian banking sector kwara more and more but the mess that's not spain significant the pension due diligence before very dubious kind of deals hope in this case shows why it's. rightly that estate in any particular in

the case of difficulties would go to help. now let's take a look at the markets oil has likely retreated from early against the market digests contrasting data from the world's two biggest oil consumers on fuel demand prices are being encouraged by european policymakers approving an emergency bailout from greece but self manufacturing from china and ongoing concerns over europe's debt crisis are keeping traders cautious in light sweet is trading at ninety five dollars a barrel brant is at one hundred and eleven dollars per barrel the european stock markets edged tyree you case footsie is up point six percent and up to no trade and the dax was up over a quarter of a percent the south drug giant squiers the top performer on the dax gaining almost two percent but bank stocks were lower including two point three percent recall as well as losses for lloyds banking group and that shed one a half and one percent respectively. and he would russia markets close in the block

to europe authorized a long payout for greece easing speculation that the country's prices will do rail the region's economic recovery now let's have a look at some individual share moves on the minds of most energy majors traded in the black heavyweight p.t.b. was putting pressure on financials the bank roll over a percent and then discounted over the. last go after the us was up more than two percent on the report say it was a lot of cars rose five thirty in the first half of the year. and that's all the business for the so i'll be back with more in about forty five minutes from now stay with headline news on.

culture is that so much diminished because it is on the mark when it's real it starts its military withdrawal from iraq what does faith hold for the kurds and if the kurds strive towards an independent state what is. the limits.
